The Federal Employees Liability Act (FELA) protects railroad workers who would not normally be covered under a standard workers' compensation claim. FELA allows settlements for pain and suffering based on comparative negligence by railroad companies, and involves a jury trial. CSX, the largest railroad in the Eastern US, has settled hundreds of solvent exposure claims. Other injuries may include toxic encephalopathy, a form of brain damage. These cases are complicated and very involved; our lawyers at Bahe Cook Cantley & Jones have experience with railroad injuries and settlements.

Likewise, railroad crossings are prevalent in the Kentucky area. Some of these crossings are not well-marked and others are just downright dangerous. Accidents happen at railroad crossings almost every day!
